Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About Coldstream Creek at Coldstream Creek Road
Coldstream Creek - A vibrant mountain river in the Okanagan region.
Coldstream Creek flows gracefully through the heart of British Columbia's Okanagan region, a vital waterway that nourishes its surrounding ecosystems and local communities. This river, monitored at Coldstream Creek Road, showcases the dynamic character of a mountain stream, influenced by seasonal snowmelt and rain. The creek drains a catchment area of approximately 193 square kilometres, reflecting the intricate relationship between land and water in this diverse landscape.
Why the data matters here
Today's river gauge provides crucial data that helps track the conditions of Coldstream Creek in real time. Regular monitoring of water levels not only assists anglers and cottagers but is also essential for understanding environmental changes and the health of the Okanagan watershed. The current reading is compared against the median level for this day across the station's historical record, offering perspective on fluctuations and long-term trends—information that proves valuable for both recreational activities and natural resource management.
With only four years of recorded data at this station, maintaining and analyzing water level reports has become even more significant. The Water Survey of Canada actively supports these efforts, ensuring that residents are informed on the health and viability of Coldstream Creek.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
